I Wish I IKnew How It Would Feel To Be Free Songtext
von Billy Taylor

Oooh... Mmmm.

I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holdin′ me
I wish I could say all the things
That I should say
Say 'em loud
Say ′em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see
And agree
That every man should be free


I wish I could give
All I′m longin′ to give
I wish I could live

Like I'm longin′ to live
I wish I could do
All the things that I can do
Oh, I'm way overdue
I′d be startin' anew


Oh, I wish I could be
Like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found I could fly
I′d soar to the sun
And [?] at the sea
And I'd sing
Cuz I know
And I'd sing
Cuz I′d know
I′d sing
Cuz I'd know
I know how it feels
To be free, yeah
(I wish I knew) To be
(How it feels) I know
(I wish I knew)
How it feels
To be free.
